New Planet: Paradise

Since it's midnight EST, you are all free to start posting! Woo hoo.

The new planet:

The aliens seem to have decided that their captives need a vacation. Each abductee will wake up in their own room in a five star resort situated on what seems to be an ocean. They will wake up dressed for a beach vacation, with beach-appropriate clothes in their dresser drawers and closet. The catch is that the resort is surrounded by a 10 foot high wall and there is an invisible barrier in the water stopping them from swimming past the wall around the resort. They will be allowed to come and go as they please, but outside the wall around the resort is a jungle filled with all sorts of supernatural creatures. If it's existed in a horror movie or in your character's source material, chances are it's outside the wall. There are signs posted up warning people against going outside the walls, but the exits aren't exactly guarded, so your character will be free to wander if they want to take the risk.

The staff at the resort will exchange pleasantries and will warn characters about what's outside the wall, but otherwise they are not able to answer questions about the aliens or the group that's been abducted. When asked questions along those lines, they may seem as though they haven't heard the question, or they may simply give a completely unrelated answer (ie, recommending the chicken fingers on the buffet, or commenting on the weather)

Characters who have been with the aliens in the past will awake to a letter on their nightstand, apologizing for what is apparently a several-months-long stasis they've been put into for the travel that needed to be undergone.

Dearest Transport,

We do heartily apologize for the state of grogginess and disorientation that you might currently feel. It is a side effect of the stasis that you were placed in for the last few months. Do not worry, this has not actually taken any other effect upon your bodies. You will find them as you left them once the fatigue has passed.

We found it necessary to place all of you into this state due to the distance we needed to travel and the speed at which it needed to be done. Even the strongest of you would not have survived, as you are not built for space travel to begin with, let alone at that level.

Unfortunately, you may also find some of your companions missing, and others added. The experiment needed to be altered.


Characters who are newly abducted will not receive a letter at all. So they will simply wake up in the hotel room with no explanation. Which, of course, means they're free to seek answers in any way they deem necessary.

Plot post!

Now that we're officially up and running, this is a place to coordinate for the next month. Feel free to comment with your characters and what you would like to do with them, and then reply to others' comments to plot and discuss.

Since we're reopening, also feel free to introduce yourself in the comments.
